In Morocco, a troubled married couple is on vacation trying to work out their differences. Meanwhile, a Moroccan herder buys a rifle for his sons so they can keep the jackals away from his herd. A girl in Japan coping with rejection, the death of her mother, the emotional distance of her father, her own self-consciousness, and a disability struggles with modern life in the enormous metropolis of Tokyo, Japan. Then, on the opposite side of the world, the husband and wife’s Mexican nanny takes the couple's two children with her to her son's wedding in Mexico, only to come into trouble on the return trip. Combined, it provides a powerful story and an equally powerful looking glass into the lives of seemingly random people around the world, and it shows just how connected we really are.

Erin Elizabeth is a conceptual artist and utilizes non-traditional materials such as cake and sprinkles along with gold leaf in order to explore questions about banality, celebration, and experiential value. Harry Sidebotham is first and foremost a painter. He engages in the tradition of painting, investigating scientific theories such as parallel dimension theory. They have two young children and a collaborative studio practice that assumes the identity, Elizabeth / Sidebotham.

Elizabeth / Sidebotham embraces the paradox presented by the intersection of a traditional domestic landscape and artistic productivity. The work reflects the sacrifices, challenges, freedom, and joy of parenthood. Fragility interplays with strength. Reverence replaces frivolity. The materials, forms, and modes of productions are infused with memory and sentimentality and exist in a state of premature nostalgia. There is profundity in the banal, but it is also spectacularly boring. Elizabeth / Sidebotham strives to capture this contradiction. More Information

Hitt Library223USUnited Statesen-USEMMY Award-winning Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States - a 1966 riot in San Francisco's impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, three years before the famous gay riot at New York's Stonewall Inn.

Screaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens, cops and activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco. Integrating the riot's story into the broader fabric of American life, the documentary connects the event to urban renewal, anti-war activism, civil rights and sexual liberation. With enticing archival footage and period music, this unknown story is dramatically brought back to life.

Screaming Queens is a production of Victor Silverman and Susan Stryker produced in association with ITVS and KQED, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

This is an InterWorldview discussion focusing specifically on Atheistic identities. We define Atheism, Humanism, and other non-faith identities and explore the values and inner-life of non-religious individuals. We learn about the specific challenges non-religious people face and consider ways to build bridges across our differences.

InterWorldview Respect and Inclusion is recommended in addition to this workshop, but is not a required pre-requisite.

This brown bag session focuses on two different motivational “forces” in that regard. Psychology routinely invokes one—the expected-value consequences of behavior. The other has not received as much attention—the “value” of a behavior in-and-of-itself. Some preliminary research results will illustrate this distinction and its relevance to decision-making/choice situations.]]>Event Instance urlhttps://events.ucf.edu/event/963157/io-psychology-brown-bag-seminar-presents-dr-robert-folger-ucf-college-of-business-administratoin/Danielle DraperDanielle.Draper@ucf.eduAcademicHappening As ScheduledPublic9598042680039598041Events at UCFevents-at-ucfhttps://events.ucf.edu/calendar/1/events-at-ucf/Chemistry Invited Speaker - Dr. Michael WalesFri, 19 Oct 2018 15:30:00 -0400Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:45:00 -0400Health & Public Affairs I119USUnited Statesen-USInvited Speaker]]>Event Instance urlhttps://events.ucf.edu/event/959804/chemistry-invited-speaker-dr-michael-wales/Michelle SalcedoMichelle.Salcedo@ucf.edu4078232246Speaker/Lecture/SeminarInvited SpeakerchemistryChemistry SeminarHappening As ScheduledPublic9633892696329633891Events at UCFevents-at-ucfhttps://events.ucf.edu/calendar/1/events-at-ucf/Arboretum SpooktacularFri, 19 Oct 2018 18:00:00 -0400Fri, 19 Oct 2018 23:45:00 -0400ArboretumTrailer 525USUnited Statesen-USWelcome brave campers to the UCF Arboretum Spooktacular!
